Drink that Cass and Jordan discovered in the Virgin Islands. A twist on the Piña Colada, the Painkiller is a rich and fruity cocktail that stays true to its name: It will cure what ails you. Made with dark rum, pineapple juice, orange juice and cream of coconut, the drink was created in the 1970s at the Soggy Dollar Bar in the British Virgin Islands (BVI), where the confluence of warm temperatures and vacation vibes necessitated cold, refreshing libations. And where, with no dock, dollars were bound to get wet as patrons swam ashore.

Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

Ok. I know it sounds gross. Who would think of such a thing right? One word- Delicious! Try it even with your prejudices. Tastes much like peanut brittle.

The vanilla boiled icing tops off the Red Velvet cake! This recipe came from Great-Grandma Viola Davis's baby sister, Verna Faye. It's an old family recipe. (Originally, when Grandma told Mom about the recipe, Grandma said she wasn't sure the butter went in it. Mom had a line on the original recipe that said "butter" but was crossed out. Later when comparing this to Paula Deen's recipe, Mom noticed the butter. Since then, the frosting has been smooth and not lumpy like early Rader family cakes.)

Grab some tikka masala sauce at your local Indian market to deepen the flavors of this juicy broiled turkey burger. For added satisfaction, serve alongside buttery potatoes and peas laced with cumin.

Serve with crusty artistan-style bread for a warming, simple meal. To make this soup vegetarian, use a meatless sausage and substitute vegetable broth for the chicken broth.

Originally called, "Baked Chicken Marinade," this recipe was gifted to Mom when she got married by Barb Kissel, who also gave Mom the recipe for Peanut Butter Popcorn.

This is the stew we have on Christmas Day.
